all played in Five Points, among others, and our band is heavy into Chicago and Texas blues.”
This is only the second in-person iteration the festival has held since the pandemic, and Rae says that organizers are expecting to possibly hit the capacity at 100,000 people. “We’re hoping that we’re going to have a full house,” she says. “We were still on the cusp [of the pandemic] last summer, and it feels like we’re back to normal, so we’re hoping for great weather and a great crowd.”
So reaching twenty years is a milestone to celebrate, says Donna Smith, who produced the first event in 2004 as the performing arts and community programming coordinator at the Denver Office of Cultural Affairs. “Seeing the Five Points Jazz Festival reach twenty years makes me proud to have played a role in supporting the treasured heritage and rich legacy of this community,” she says.
